“Freedom day is losing its meaning or touch, because we are not as free as we were. We are oppressed by the ones we elected to free and lead us. Our leaders everyday with no single doubt are betraying public our trust in them.

They oppress us by stealing from us. Taking our money, jobs, opportunities, our pride, our freedom, our voice, our safety, our health, our happiness . They busy doing corruption and denying us basic service delivery. We don’t have financial, economical, educational freedom. We literally live in fear of our lives.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“In a society where people have the status of "free citizens," it is important to ensure that all people have the same rights and opportunities. This includes the right to work, the right to safety, and the right to be treated with respect. Sex workers are just as much "free citizens" as anyone else, and they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect.”
Maitreya Maitreyan, For Humans To Know: New Revised Edition

“It is not that difficult to understand and differentiate between our said rights and our assumption that we solely own them. (...)

Your right of self-defense, for instance, firmly stops at your borders. Crossing that line becomes an offense.

Your right to freedom of expression loses its validity at the uttering of hate, discrimination, racism, or lies.

Your basic human rights cease to be an entitlement when you intentionally and forcefully deprive others of theirs.

Even your right to express anger ceases to exist when it turns to violence, whether verbal or physical. (...)

No one is entitled to that which they refuse to others.”
Claudys Kantara, Rebel Thoughts of Wisdom: Inspiring Conscious Change for Personal & Collective Growth

“From the suffragettes to the civil rights movement, what was once condemned as radical disruption is now celebrated as moral courage. We must remember this pattern – and refuse to let our rights be eroded by fear. This is not new, and we will not be silenced.”
Charlotte Church
